Another thing to note is that Abril is not Broner, they do not fight like each other. Rios needs a guy to actually fight you back in order to look good. When you have one guy shoulder rolling but not throwing any punches, Rios looks dumb. But if Broner decides to exchange, I can definitely see Rios getting some of the better exchanges under certain circumstances. Rios would be the underdog but I can see him winning.

only reason Abril won cause Rios was weight drained to death. Abril would have gotten stop.

I watched the fist seven or eight rounds, excited to see Rios KO the guy. I scored every round for Abril and then turned the damn thing off. He was outboxed and had no answers for Abril's style. As I said, I didn't watch the last four rounds, but the ones I did see were all Abril.

Granted, it serves him right for continuing to try and fight that weight in attempt to have a size advantage on fight night. But you can't say it had nothing to do with performance.
And another thing: I'm not saying that Rios is unbeatable. Far from it. My prediction is that he would get beat badly against a guy who is a really good boxer with power and can handle his aggression.

Abril outboxed him, took all of his tools away, and made him look bad. It was a thorough schooling. If you literally are dictating the way the entire fight is going, you're taking the opponent to school. I'd still heavily favor Abril in a rematch. Abril is easy to rob, but hard to beat.
